MONDAY DECEMBER 21. 1931 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON COOPER WINS FOURTH ANNUAL PASADENA TOURNEY COX, VETERAN BPKLYN PRO., PLACES SECOND Pasadena, Wr Those who favor the new heavier golf ball had Harry Cooper's victory In the fourth annual Pasadena $4,000 open tour nament Monday as proof of their prejudices. The confident Chicago pro took unto himself first prize money of a thousand dollars Bun day by leading a field of 180 play ers by several strokes after the three-day, 72-ho!e contest which marked the first tourney test of the weightier missile. Light Horse Harry, who rode out of Texas five years ago as an un known youth with a strong belief tn his own game to annex the Los Angeles open, set a burning pace of three strokes under par for the Brooksldc layout, shooting a 281 to outclass the field. After trailing three strokes on the opening round with a 72, one over par, the professional from the Glen Oaks country club startled the gal lery and his opponents Saturday with a sizzling 67 to take the lead he never relinquished during Sun day's 30 holes. White exponents of the heavy ball may have their Inning with Cooper as proof, his closest competitors. Whiffy Cox, veteran Brooklyn cam paigner who placed second and Fred Morrison, powerful driving Culver City, Calif., pro, who placed third, saved the "balloon" pellet of 1931 origin from disgrace. Cox ran up a 288 total for the 72 holes, worth $(i00 to him In prize money, while Morrison wound up with a 289, good for $400 In the coin of the realm. New ball advocates took the next four places. Ralph Guldahl and Walter Hagen, a couple of Detroit pros, tied for fourth with 290 strokes and collected $325 while Ray Mangrum of Los An geles and Eddie Loos, Chicago, tied for sixth to receive $225 each. All played the ponderous pellet.
